Reacting like what?  I am trying to establish that the transcript is broken
and needs fixing.  Do you agree or not?  If you don't agree then fine,
Clément will continue to develop the VM in Squeak, and I'll always be
confused about the Pharo community's ability to discuss technical issues.

If you do agree, then why not plan to fix it?

If instead you don't want to discuss the technical issue and instead see
this as some kind of emotional attack then I'm sorry but that's completely
dysfuncitonal.  People make mistakes.  Communities bake bad decisions.
These things happen.  But mature people and functional communities can
recognize (you notice I didn't say admit, no one wants to ridicule people
for their mistakes, I make serious mistakes continuously) their mistakes
and rectify them.

I am /not/ attacking the community, I am /not/ saying that Pharo is not
trying to improve things, I am /not/ saying the old transcript was the most
perfect piece of software ever, I am saying that the current behaviour and
api of the transcript is *broken*.  It needs to be a) compatible with
WriteStream, and b) needs to display its output as soon as it is sent
flush.  Do you disagree?
